Kazakhstan produced about 9.5 million tonnes of construction materials in January-July 2026, an increase of 9.4%, according to INFOLine’s Largest Construction and Finishing Materials Producers and DIY Retail Chains in Kazakhstan 2026 database. Rising construction activity, new production capacity and government-backed import substitution are supporting growth across the industry.
Construction remains one of the main sources of demand. The value of construction work performed in Kazakhstan rose 15.2% to KZT 4 trillion in the first half of 2026. This expansion is increasing demand for cement, concrete, reinforced concrete products, bricks, dry construction mixes, insulation and finishing materials.
The country has more than 3,000 construction materials manufacturers, but local production covers only about half of domestic demand, INFOLine estimates. Kazakhstan still relies heavily on imports in several higher value-added segments, including paints and coatings, heating and ventilation equipment, sanitary ware and other finished products.
This gap creates room for further investment in local manufacturing. Kazakh companies are adding capacity and expanding their product ranges as the country seeks to replace imported goods with domestically manufactured alternatives.
Concrete and reinforced concrete products form one of the largest segments covered by the INFOLine database, with 26 major companies. Center Beton Company has annual concrete production capacity of 600,000 cubic metres, while ABK-Beton operates five production sites.
The window manufacturing segment includes 15 major companies. Bastau Almaty is identified as Kazakhstan’s leading producer of PVC window profiles.
Another 14 major companies operate in roofing, facade and insulation materials. Izoterm runs five production sites with combined annual output of 100,000 tonnes. Metallprofil, one of Kazakhstan’s largest manufacturers of thin-sheet steel roofing materials, operates two plants in the country.
The figures point to a two-track market. Kazakhstan is increasing output of widely used construction materials as building activity grows, but the country still imports a significant share of more technologically advanced and higher value-added products. Closing that gap will depend on whether local manufacturers can move beyond basic materials and develop competitive finished products.
